Must See Cuba - La Jungla de Jones

La Jungla de Jones is a rich and verdant botanical garden containing over 80 varieties of tree. The highlight of La Jungla is the aptly named Bamboo Cathedral, an enclosed space surrounded by huge clumps of craning bamboo that only a few strands of sunlight manage to penetrate.

Bisected by a network of shaded trails and punctuated by bamboo, mangoes and Yamagüa, this expansive and recently restored garden once belonged to two American botanists, Helen and Harris Jones who set up the establishment in 1902 with the intention of studying plants and trees from around the world.
